An early morning cup of coffee can set the stage for an energetic day ahead, helping both body and mind prepare for what lies ahead. But did you know you could give yourself an extra health boost by including reishi mushroom powder into your coffee? This DIY trend has quickly gained traction over recent years; just be sure to use only certified organic mushroom powder without added fillers and preservatives!

Mushrooms are known to be adaptogenic, supporting the body’s natural ability to deal with stress while helping balance and support various systems in its entirety*. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), also dubbed as the “mushroom of immortality”, is an outstanding immune modulator which reduces fatigue while encouraging restful sleep; additionally it has antihyperlipidaemic, anti-aging antioxidant and antiviral properties as well.

Online searches often provide inaccurate recipes involving instant coffee-mushroom blends, yet making mushroom coffee is easy at home. The key to successful mushroom coffee preparation lies in using quality cold brew coffee paired with pure reishi mushroom extract made from fruiting bodies rather than mycelium; this guarantees you are receiving all of the beneficial components found within mushrooms such as nutrients and active constituents.

Add your desired amount of cold brewed coffee to a mug and combine one slightly rounded teaspoon of Reishi mushroom powder, stirring to dissolve. Finally, top your drink off with maple syrup or 100% Pure Monk Fruit Liquid Extract and enjoy! *Mushrooms have long been recognized as aiding digestion, regulating blood sugar, stimulating bile secretion, decreasing gallstone risk and stimulating large intestine movement – as well as increasing energy.
